They aren't reduced in price so i'm wondering if they're not that much good. Anyone bought or used them? http://www.cyclingbargains.com/product_info.php/vittoria-rubino-tyre-orange-p-1227

They have received good reviews here (and cheaper too!)...http://www.wiggle.co.uk/vittoria-rubino-wire-bead-clincher-tyre/

I used to ride on those and they were very comfy but I had 3 rears in succession crack and fall apart on the sidewalls. All replaced FOC but eventually I gave up and it's GP4000s only for me now.

I had so many punctures, I went for Schwalbe Durano Plus for my Winter bike and Schwalbe Luganos for the best bike. Only had one flat since.

Go for the "pro" version of the Rubinos if you can.

Those tyres are generally fine. If unsure carry a puncture kit with you, avoid seen glass, thorns etc..

I might put tyre swapping on hold for the time being. I don't want to temp fate as i haven't had a you know what(begins with p)for ages!:whistle: My current tyres are Schwalbe Luganos(on both bikes),they have cuts and other damage all over them,but they've stayed inflated for an unbelievable 5 months:ohmy:,so i'll wait till i have a you know what then change them.

I do many thousands of miles on Rubino's. I have had 1 puncture in just over a year. Look after the tyres and they will look after you.

I have orange 23mm folding rubino pros on my Orbea. The colour matches the bike. They are good tyres. Not as grippy as a Michelin Pro Race but more durable
